American Cooks Getting AheaL.

"Do you know" said prominent hotel
man the other day, "that the American cooks
are rapidly supplanting the French and Ital-
ian chefs in the large hotels and restaurants
of this country! Two or three of the big
hotels in Cincinnati have American head
cooks, while in Boston the Yankee cooks now
have almost full sway. One reason for the
previous lack of interest among Americans
in this branch of industry has been the &C
cepted idea that nobody but foreigner can
properly prepare a fine dish. The men who
have adopted the profession in the United
good paying occupation. A head cook in q
first class hotel receives from 500 to $50 per
month, with his board and room thrown in.
The American cooks, it is now conceded,
have no superiors in preparing roast beef and
beefsteak, and they will soon excel in other
branches of the culinary art-Cincinnau

To my Departed Husband.

THE following lines were written on the death
{ Mr.. Rice Dimick.l
Farewell dearest husband farewell,
Thou art gone never more to return;
Thou art gone with the angels to dwell
And the anthems OF Heaven to learn.
Thou art gone. OH sad are the words,
On earth. / shall see thee no more;
No more shall hear thy dear voice
Till we meet on that beautiful shore.
Oh how can bear the sad thought,
or living this life without thee,
Our lives so together we're wrought,
Oh! why were You taken from me.
Oft I've prayed that Gods win might be done
That | from each idol might part,
But Oh! where he took my loved one
Those words found no place in my heart
In sadness thy loved ones do mourn,
The baby in vain calls for thee
And asks where papa has gone,
And when will he come back to me-"
How his innocent prattle doth touch
The tenderest chord as | say,
Dear child, he can not come to u.s.
But we may go and see papa some day.
Oh! yes my dear husband. l trust
We shall meet on that Heavenly shore.
Where the people Of God are at rest,
And loved ones are parted no more

original shape would be likely to be
10 ,ked upon frvorably b. a majority of
the me-too legislators; then some other
wiry politician well yersed in the science
of lodging responsibilities, will put in
operation the gag rule and shut of de-
bate by moving to lay the ''aml nd
ment' on the table. This motion if it
prevails carries with it the original
measure and disposes OF it effectively
for that session without really putting
the members on record. Many legisla-
tors are only too glad to adopt this
COW .rdlY method of disposiDg of a ques-
ton about which there might be a
difference of opinion among their con-
stituents.
One of the more prominent measures
that was served in this pusillanimous
way is the County Option Bill. Without
entering upon discussion of the merits
or dement's of county option, it may
reasonably be stated that the people
have at least right to know how their
representatives at the capitol would
have voted on the bill, and the unsophis-
ticated legislator who is supinely duped
by this common species of political
chicanery is but jumping-jack for the
sbrewd lrickster who pulls the string,
and is totally unit to be elevated from
the ranks and dubbed with the mis-
homer honorable. The most radical
and out-spoken supporter of the saloon
is entitled to infinitely more respect and
consideration than the sneaking, fawn-
ing, nonentity who is afflicted either with
dense ignorance and humiliating incom-
petence or with the most belittling
species of moral cowardice extant.
His highest aim seems to be to keep on
both sides of every question and to do
nothing that can not De satisfactorily
construed to all of his constituents how
ever various their views, and the one
idea apparently uppermost in his mind
is the question of his reelection There
is absolutely no excuse for the Republi-
can legislature to refuse even to con-
slider the only anti-saloon measure which
had any chance of becoming law at
the present session, and which simply
gives the people in the various counties
right to decide the question for them
selves. TO those wise-acre Republicans
who think that the saloon question can
be settled by simply ignoring 1t, and
who have no higher virtue to appeal to
than selfish considera lions of personal
political success, it might be pertinent
to direct their attention to the opinion
of the recognized leader of Republi-
canism. the New York Tribune. which
says that, Temperance reform is the
coming issue, and the party which owes
all its strength to its courage and en-
lightenment on the moral problems of
rs time must be true to itself here,
must be equal to the height of the occa-
sion, or must abdicate its sovereignty.

1t is printed that recently when a
young man asked Phillips Brooks, the
great Boston clergyman, what he
would do if he was asked by the artist
for his opinion of picture which was
not commendable, the clergyman said
Il would say Just what do to mothers
who bring their babies to me to be adj
mirod. / always say, oh, that is a
baby leaving the mother convinced
that it is the only baby in the world.
and myself utterly uncommitted. :"
This recalls recently printed anec-
dote of n Boston critic, who, Mt a first
night in a theatre, was expressing great
contempt for the play, when the author
rushed up and asked what he thought
of it. My dear fellow, said the
critic, without 4 moment hesitation.
IF had written that play | should be
so proud of it there would be no living
with me. F." Asked afterward 10 Justify
such an apparently outrageous lie. the
critic said: Il only told him the truth.

around what was then the square and not
the diamond.
The pitcher-he was usually called the
powder" relic Of cricket nomenclature
stood at B and the catcher stood at C. There
were no regular outfieldeis, and the game
could be played by six boys-three on a side.
But while half dozen could play the game,
half a dozen rarely did, and the number was
often twent or more. In such a case the
field was covered by the superfluous players
as they chose.
And now for the rules and workings of the
game. The two best PLAYERS were selected to
choose sides" and they sometimes decided
who should have first choice of players by
tossing sup stone, upon which one of
them had solemnly spat. One called out
"wet" and the other dry the falling of the
stone decided the matter. But the more COM
mon method was for one of the two "choosers"
to tJss ball club into the air; the other
would catch it and then there was superim-
posing of grasped hands This method was
called choosing up" and the one who held
the cub last had first choice. But he had to
have firm grip, and it was decided whether
he had a fair hold by his ability to toss it
over his head. If he had hold by but one fin
ger he often failed. Sometimes this impor-
tant matter was settled by driving down. y
IL the grasp on the club was less than full
hand tno allusion to the great game of poker
intended), it was not enough. The accom-
panying cut viii best explain this.

The batting order came in the same order

One bound was always allowed the catcher
and sometimes two If batted ball were
caught on the fly or the first or second bound
it was out also, and if ball were batted over
the fence it was out. But whoever got the
ball first was sin, and a rousing bat was sure
to cause a general stampede, and afforded the
players plenty of practice in vaulting. There
were no fouls, properly speaking If the ball

the present game is the legitimate evolution of

difference lies in the fact that in the
